FAQPage Schema

How do I run tasks across multiple projects in an Nx monorepo?▼

Run tasks across multiple projects using the `nx run-many -t <targets>` command to coordinate builds, tests, and linting. This approach ensures consistency across apps and libraries in the workspace.

How do I discover available targets for a specific project in Nx?▼

Discover available targets by running `nx show project <name> --json` to inspect the project. This reveals executable commands defined in the project's project.json and package.json scripts.

Can I execute a single build or test target for one project in Nx?▼

Yes, execute a single target using `nx run <project>:<task>`. This triggers the specific build, test, lint, or serve target defined in your project configuration.

Do I need Nx globally installed to run workspace tasks?▼

No, Nx does not need to be globally installed. The skill provides guidance for environments without a global installation, allowing you to execute workspace tasks locally.

What configuration files are required to execute Nx tasks?▼

Executing Nx tasks requires understanding of `project.json` and `package.json` scripts to determine executable commands. These files define the available targets and scripts for your projects.
